When I saw this item montessori-n-such and this other one site I knew I wanted needed one : ) so I started to look for a box that it could be use as a writing sand tray....It took me several weeks until I got this black durable box that my husband recycled from his office.

These are the activities we are having until the end of April, they are related with Easter, C was very excited about Easter this year so I thought on preparing activities using eggs and cute Easter stuff.

Writing tray, using a recycled metal box from cookies, filled with corn starch, a white small board with a marker, our homemade wooden letters, sand letters and our homemade fabric letters, C needs to trace with her finger the letters and then draw the letter on the corn starch and finally write the letter on the white board using the marker. This month's letter is "S".

" I spy bottle tray". This tray was the biggest hit!! C can open the bottle put the funnel and start spooning the rice, when she is done , she can put the different objects inside the bottle and close it, then we can play I spy.
She also like to hide the objects in the rice bowl and ask me "mommy can you spy the blue pom?" and I will need to find it for her.

Two of the things a love to do is sew and read. I made this summer owl skirt for C (she loves to have pockets on her skirt , she feels like a big girl) and I just finished reading Siblings Without Rivalry,(found it at my local library) what a great book to read, full of great ideas and ways for moms and dads to deal with their children and help them to build their way to communicate with each other better.

I know...you may think I am crazy because my second child is not even born yet but he will be in two months : ) and I love learning about parenting.

Well my friends I just wanted to share a quick picture from one of our thousand projects we are working on, painting and remodeling the house as much as we can (and as much as our pockets will let us : ) before our little pickle is born. I am also sawing some baby stuff and some other stuff for C. She is so used to me doing things for her that whenever she sees me working on a project she thinks its for her, even if its for her brother. Well I think we all have to get used to the idea of having a new love person in our daily live.

I like how easy and fun are these 4 different ways to decorate eggs with my 4 year old. You don't need to make a huge mess and are very fast to get the results. I have been thinking on different ways and I come up with these ones.

Our theme for this sensory bin is Easter (C is really excited about Easter), it was very simple to put together, I saved egg shells for the last three weeks and dyed them with vinegar,water and food coloring.

Then we added ( yes..we! C and me put all the stuff together, she was very excited to be able to help) plastic eggs, felted eggs, chocolate eggs , chocolate rabbits, a basket ,a fabric rabbit and a needle felted chick. We also put some foam egg stickers around the tub.
